The seal is useful for sealing an electrical adaptor of the type which incorporates a socket that accepts a plug rated to a first maximum current load, a circuit breaker set for said first maximum current load, a residual circuit device and wherein the socket is enclosed in a compartment adapted to receive the plug and the compartment is provided with a releasable cover
Description
CLOSURE SEAL for ELECTRICAL ADAPTOR
This invention relates to an improved environmental seal for electrical cables and particularly to an electrical adaptor housing for providing power from a domestic residence to a mobile home or caravan.
Background to the invention Most caravan's or RV's have a power source rating of 15 Amps so that a number of appliances can be run at one time. However domestic power outlets are rated to amps. Because of this the plugs and sockets are designed to be incompatible to prevent damaging the domestic power circuits or worse initiate a fire.
Another difficulty with connecting a caravan power to a domestic circuit is that the leads and connections are exposed to the elements and water seeping into the adaptor may result in a dangerous short circuit.
Many patents have addressed the problem of enclosing electrical connectors.
The most relevant of these use clam shell configurations with a hinge parallel to the cable. Examples are USA patents 5217387, 6036526, 7285725, 7553181 and W003001631. Australian patent 2010100095 by the present applicant discloses an alternative longitudinal clam shell enclosure. However none of these provide effective environmental sealing around the cable which is capable of accommodating a range of cable sizes It is an object of this invention to provide an adaptor that ameliorates these problems.
Brief description of the invention To this end the present invention provides a closure seal that provides an environmental seal about a cable or conduit which includes an upper sealing block adapted to be clamped to a lower sealing block so that the circumference of the cable or conduit is encompassed by the two sealing blocks wherein each sealing block is composed of a resilient deformable material and each block includes a pair of spaced apart arms disposed within said deformable material each arm lying on a line that is substantially radial to said cable, said arms being pivoted at the end remote from said cable or conduit.
